      "I'm an advanced student and chose Kana to help me study for the Real Estate Agent certification exam in Japan. If I did it alone studying would take too long because I'd have to look up all the kanji and stuff. So far so good. On my own I manage a few pages a day. With Kana we get through an entire chapter (12-14 pages) in a couple hours."

      I teach natural Japanese. Children can also take my class. I want to like teaching Japanese to the students.

      I can speak English, but my English skill level isn't high.

      I use a whiteboard and Google Pictures in lessons.

      Many students want to speak Japanese skilling not reading Japanese skilling. So I teach actual Japanese sentences and natural Japanese sentences.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Japanese in Rochester, NY and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with special programs, you have four primary options for learning Japanese interactively in Rochester, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your second option can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. 4th and last, you can look for a private Japanese tutor in Rochester, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Rochester, NY and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Japanese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Japanese cost?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of 45-48 lesson hours each semester. Language academies and private Japanese tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Japanese tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, positive reviews and popularity. Average student satisfaction for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Japanese do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. According to experts, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand many phrases, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.

    🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Japanese?

    Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Japanese or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese coach?

    In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of approved Japanese tutors with full profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges typically run classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
